Adore Me's Perfect Date

The perfect date?... hmmmm I was recently asked what this is by Adore me, a super chic lingerie company. I'd imagine me, my boyfriend, an amazing outfit and lots of soufflé and candlelight to set that oh so romantic scene.

And of course because Adore Me specialise in lingerie, they asked me to style my perfect date with a bra and panties set of my choice. I chose the Kaeleigh Push up Balconette set shown below.

I love this set, the colour is gorgeous, and the lace detailing is really pretty and delicate. I also love how you can turn the balconette bra into a strapless (very practical!) and how it will go with almost any outfit.

I chose to style two different outfits with the above set, a very glam and then more relaxed but still sexy ensemble to show off how versatile the set it.

The first look is very glam! and very pink!

Lingerie styling is right on trend, and so pairing my chosen set (styling the bra strapless of course) with a cami strap leather dress I feel adds style and sass to a date night look. I love the pink hues paired with the gold and deep red to create the perfect romantic palette. Keeping accessories simple will also keep all his attention on you. Bonus points!

My second look is like I said a lot more relaxed. Sometimes you just want to be comfy, but that doesn't mean you can't look your best. Pair a cashmere knit with a body-con leather skirt, slip on your sexiest strappy sandals (how cute are these fluffy topshop ones!) and grab your go to clutch and you are set for that perfectly cosy night and still have your date swooning.

PRESENTATION TO PUB A T.M. LEWIN STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD

J Brand mens zip off pants, £83 / Woolrich mens twill pants / Topman mens brown coat / Topman old navy mens jacket / Topman mens denim shirt / Topman mens long sleeve button down shirt / Cassidy Mid Blue Chinos / Tweed jacket / New York City Photography, Empire State, NYC Skyline, Top of the Rock,...

I was recently asked to put together a board showcasing what I see as great "day to night" or "presentation to pub." looks.

Although T.M Lewin was the main focus, I wanted to show different ways you could wear this look ,as I know not all office's following the smart suit and tie dress code, that T.M Lewin is famous for.

The first outfit is really for the young, fast fashion on trend guy that likes to be smart, but also keep things confortable. Bomber jackets are all over the high street right now, and so this great Harrington collared number is a great add on paired with a denim shirt, tailored jeans and brown shoes.

The second look, is more T.M Lewin customer focused. I took this jacket straight from the TM Lewin casual range. I feel it is still smart enough to wear in the office but also a great transitional piece to head straight down to the local in. Add some smart trousers and a pair of shiny lace ups to finish this look.

The final look encorporates a sleek raincoat as the staple piece. Pair with a simple jersey top, turned up trousers and suede lace ups, for the guy who likes to add a touch of edge to his daily office duties, then afterwards likes to relax with a few friends in the beer garden.

Adore Me.com -The Fall (in love) 2015 Collection

Adore Me.com is a E-commerce Lingerie company based in New York, which is fast becoming a competitor for those core lingerie brands we all know globally. With an online VIP following which is continuously rising, the future for this small start up in NYC (who are soon to be expanding globally), is looking oh so bright.

But it's no wonder everyone is loving their designs, their lingerie is what everyone is after feminine and that key word affordable. And with their stunning new Fall Collection about to be released I can only see them going from strength to strength.

The new collection exudes the delicate, girly trend that is all over the fashion world. From pastel hues, to embroidered lace, and silky textures, there is something for every woman who is ready to feel sexy and be adored.

Below are a few of my favourites from the collection and how I would style them up with my fall choices!

This Calyssa Unlined Bralette, is definitely my favourite piece from the collection. I love the soft blue silk and the lace detailing. I would keep it simple with the styling and pair the bralette with an oversized knit, blue jeans and some on trend beige boots, giving the bralette all the attention.

The Calyssa isn't online just yet, but this Claudette Balconette and this Clarisse Demi Bra are perfect options in both style and colour.

This Peaches and Cream set featuring the Felicite Push up bra and Maria Unlined knicker, is another of my favourites from the collection.
The lace detailing and soft pink colour just oozes that girly chic trend we are seeing on the catwalks.
Going with a more evening style approach, I would build the set with more soft tones, such a flowing midi skirt, metallic knit crop, and a statement and on trend Suede Biker Jacket. Pairing all these with a classic over the shoulder, and some strappy heels to finish off the perfect date night look.

To see the full collection head over to Adore Me's website or Youtube Channel where they feature this season's sexiest lingerie or find them on Twitter and Instagram @adoreme

Happy Shopping!
